Kiwumulo Development Group Of Mukono

K. Rose is a lively 34-year-old widowed mother with two school-going children. Her four-year-old boutique business in Seeta, MuKono, has been her financial recourse as she grapples with the solitary responsibility of taking care of her children.

The lack of capital to expand her business has been one of Rose’s undoings over the years. With monthly profit returns of 80,000 shillings, she has not been able to consolidate her business venture. As such, she wants a loan to buy new equipment for her boutique and to move into bigger premises.

Additional Information

This is a Group Loan

In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.

Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
